Bad guys, beware! Manila policemen have something to stop you in your tracks.

 

Twelve new units of Nissan Almera were recently turned over to the Manila City government in an effort to boost the police patrol fleet keeping safe the city’s busy streets day in and day out.

 

Nissan Philippines Inc. (NPI) launched the Almera in January. With its reliability, fuel efficiency and versatility, the Almera has quickly established itself as a formidable player in the entry-level category.

 

The Almera, with its 1.5-liter base MT and spacious interior,  is the ideal vehicle for the city’s crime-fighting fleet. Decals, including sirens and stickers, were added to complete the look of the patrol cars.

 

Each unit was procured at a discounted rate of P690,000 (the Almera retails at P710,000), with Nissan Quezon Avenue as the servicing dealer.

 

“This partnership is a testament to Nissan’s commitment to providing quality, reliable and versatile vehicles. We thrive in providing exciting innovations to our customers, and we are honored that the historic City of Manila chose Nissan to be its partner in helping maintain peace and order,” said Kenji Naito, NPI’s president, during the turnover event.

During the ceremony, Naito and Willy Tee Ten (the dealer principal of Nissan Quezon Avenue) presented the ceremonial Nissan car key to Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada and Vice Mayor Francisco Domagoso.

 

“The confidence of the Manila City government proves that we at Nissan Philippines Inc. are doing something right, and we only hope that this is just the start of a fruitful relationship. We look forward to supporting the City of Manila again in the future,” Naito said.

 

NPI was formed upon consolidation of Universal Motors Corp. and Nissan Motors Philippines Inc. For more information, log on to www.Nissan.ph.
